Leon makes a good point. Do I remember correctly that the Pro edition will be available in sections, though? (i.e. you can buy just the pro edition strings for a third of the price if you want...)

Still, a lite version seems to help software/sample sales regardless of the product from what I've seen.

The Pro edition will be available in sections too.

Maybe the First Edition will be continued after the Pro Edition release
(but without the VIP price option).

YES!!!

So far, we have:

Maybe the first edition will not be discontinued, and somemissing patches will probably be provided as free upgrades.

I'm afraid it is impossible to make a purchasing decision based on vapour-facts [8-)] . I WANT to buy VSL, but you are making it very difficult for me to know what I'm getting!

Clear information, sound upgrade policies, and a scaled product range are so crutial to recruiting customers! We are slipping through your fingers!

I would urge you to make an official announcement regarding what exactly the first edition will include, and whether the first edition will be discontinued.

Leon

Ok, here some facts:

the first edition includes 160 178 Samples, Datasize 93 Gig,
The Vip upgrading option for the First Edition will run out when the Pro Edition will be released.
The First Edition without VIP option will be continued.

There will be an announcement weeks before here on this site and a neswletter information, when the Pro Edition will be released.

A free update of selected gigfiles, if you don't want to upgrade is planned.
The exact database of these upgrade will be also announced in the same news letter information. What I don't know at the moment, if shipping will be for free, because this desicion is up to our distributors.

Herb,

One small clarification. I just purchased the Complete Set. How long do I retain my VIP purchasing privileges? That is to say, when Pro Edition is released, how long do I have to purchase the Pro Edition at VIP prices or doesn't my VIP ever expire?

Thanks,

Craig

Great news! More options = better!

Thanks for the info, Herb.

It's very good news that you will keep the First Edition.

I am looking forward to know exactly what those selected free gig files will be. In my particular situation, this will be fundamental in my decision between VSL and EWQLSO. I really hope you make the First Edition+free selected gigs an attractive alternative to the complete EWQLSO.

I would like to make my decision and buy either one or the other as soon as possible after I have heard the EWQLSO demos next month. When can we expect this newsletter?

Thanks for all the info, I hope to be your custommer soon,

Leon

bump! [:D]

I would love to know if you plan on completing the first edition instruments 100%....(will there be any missing articulations?) It would be great to know this before EWQLSO hits the market. That way I can make my choice as soon as possible. Thanks!

Your VIP option will never expire! Once you have bought the First Edition, you can upgrade at the VIP price, no matter when you choose to buy the Pro Edition.

Best,
Martin
